Thank you for all the anniversary wishes!! We certainly had a wonderful day together!!! I hope that you, Maeve, also spent a beautiful wonderful day with your True Love!!!!!

Today I have been working in our bedroom which, if I am truthful, has become a haven of clean, folded clothing. And our closet? That's just scary. So...today I have gone through a lot of clothes (mostly his) that are never worn or don't fit and have bagged them up. I did put a few of my own in too but to be fair, I sort out my stuff far more often than his (I keep hoping HE will do it but frankly, it's just not that important to him and he has tons of other stuff to tend to). The thing I am most proud of myself about today is that I have sorted through all of my chemo hats. I had two drawers full of them and I have picked out my favorites to keep. I don't have to wear them for their original purpose anymore but they are still wonderful fall hats to keep me warm!!! So....Maeve, Jacqui, Sandra and Allison....all of your hats will be staying. I can't bear to part with the ones that I know were so lovingly made especially for me and besides that, they are BEAUTIFUL and I love them!!! However, I have all kinds of hats from the ACS too, most of those were never worn. I will take them to a local support group next week and see if they can pass them on. Sorting through the hats that initially brought lots of tears was very empowering for me today. Very. In the event that I should ever have to go for more treatments, I know I have about 12 hats that I love, that are comfortable and make me feel good!!!! They are all, by the way, handmade. I kept my favorite sleeping cap too...it's amazing how cold my head used to get at night.

Gotta go...more soon!
